Why are people downplaying the hardware sales of the PS3, the library of the Wii, the sales of GT5, Epic Mickey etc? Its what people do, apparently there are some who rather enjoy it.

For the record, Kinect is seeing a level of hate bigger than all of those combined!

There wasn't a video game website on all of the interweb that didn't have Kinect hate on it.

You have to get down off the couch to play Kinect with any hope of success.

how can people be happy for microsoft? they are NEVER happy for you



People have always hated on 

A) Things they don't like and 

B) Things that are very successful



I have to say that I'm a PS3 owner, so I'd like to see my console as market leader, because I think it's the best one (my opinon).

I chose "I am butthurt", not because it's a success for the Xbox (I mean, it's not my money anyway), but because I'm worried about the future of gaming.

I see Kinect as a great device, with potential for great features and gimmicks, but NOT as gaming device. I don't understand why core gamers are happy with those sales, even Xbox fans. You'd have to admit that that kind of games is not what you're looking for.

So if this keeps selling massively, it could start a new trend, casualizing games even more. Publishers would start to ask themselves, why bother making AAA Titles with huge budgets, when they can sell the same amount of copies with a cheap Kinect or Wii game? At the end, for the companies, it's all about the money, don't forget that.

 

So yeah, "great job Microsoft", but this kinda hurts me, and not because I'm a sony fanboy or whatever

This. They have opened pandora's box.(for gamers at least, they are happy though, seeing as they will make way more money)
